About Oxford & Cambridge Club
The original clubhouse was built in 1836-7 to the designs of Sir Robert Smirke and his brother Sidney Smirke. It was the last of the great London clubs built in the Greek revival style including the interior, apart from the staircase remodelled in 1906-12. In 1952 the site was extended by purchase of no. 77 also.
As its name implies, membership is open to graduates of Oxford and Cambridge universities, with honorary membership extended to senior members of the British and foreign royal families. Famous past members include Gladstone, Attlee, and the Duke of Wellington.
Club facilities include a large library, squash courts, a billiard room, overnight accommodation, two dining rooms and two bars. Cask ale is available in the main bar.

Every room that the club offers, provides a different vibe all together. The meeting lounge area is great to meet people for coffee, pastries and have a lovely catchup. Then you can move onto the pub which offers beer, wine, cocktails and port, great place to do pre drinks before lunch or post lunch. The dining room offers amazing food and wine and some of the best table service I have ever seen. If you have the opportunity to go, don't hesitate!

Came here as a guest of a friend to play squash, so can only comment on the bits that I saw or interacted with. The person at the front was so incredibly polite and helpful. The club itself is very stylish and looks lovely. The squash courts themselves are well maintained and have a great feel. The club house we had lunch in afterwards was also very well decorated and the food was delicious.

Very nice club but they require a tie and were a bit stiff. Food was very good. Beautiful inside. Very nice business area to work in.

Just like being back at college. Smart dress code for the evening is required, but you would anyway for a formal. Fantastic bar and dinner service. Excellent regular, vegetarian and vegan menu options with huge portions and extensive drinks/wine menu. Don't miss it if you get the chance. A great venue for our reunion.

Impressive venue, especially given its prestige. Very good selection of drinks and good service. Not very busy though.
